the weight at the start was wrong and it put you more on your front wheel and the suspesion setup can be a factor but put lil more weight at the back but then you fixed it after it put you lil on the front wheel but do whit alot more rocks man

Did you shove a water bottle down your pants?

Not sure about the garden part but it’s clear you’ve been putting some time in your turns.

Not bad. Try to bend your elbows a little more and push the bike down into the ground.

Caveat that I’m only an intermediate rider but I have been getting coaching lately and I can see you making two mistakes I made myself a lot before I got my coach.
First, on the rocks you are too far back on your bike. Try to keep your head right above your stem and center your weight over the bottom bracket.
Secondly, on the turn (I know you didn’t ask for advice here) your technique is ok but keep your pedals level. You’re turning your body a lot which is excellent, but your inside knee is fully bent while the outside is fully extended and this is not a stable position (although it looks sick as hell).
Overall you’re doing good but these two things will make you much more stable and in control.

Let go of the brakes. It looks like slow motion 🤪

Is the “rock garden” in the room with us?

I don’t see a rock garden. I see one single rock. But you made it over. So congrats i guess
What is in your pants? Very alarming.
Sick bike
More rocks first of all then we can see
Brake before the feature not through it, and if you have to brake try not to lock up the rear tire modulate your brakes rather than death squeeze.
Not a garden. But love watching the geometry on the bike flex in slomo

Not a rock garden of the rocks are entirely avoidable. This is closer.
All I’d say advice wise is to try to hit the brakes either before or after the chunk instead of dragging them the whole way through.
This is one of my fav videos on the topic:

You look tight and scared. Loosen up and try to “float” through.
Going into a rock garden get your heels down a bit more…don’t feel like you need to hold back…push that front end in and be aggressive on the front.
You kept it rubber side down in the vicinity of rocks 👍
Less brake, center your body more, lean the bike, not your body.
